Now, if one wanted to build a case against the existence of such a God, what sort of argument could one put forth?
For me, this is a case where I think where it is justified to view the absense of evidence as evidence of absence.

Strange indeed.
Everyone does not believe in lots of things for no good evidence exists, yet for some reason a few people think that a non-belief in God needs to be justified.
I suppose that this could be turned around and we could ask why we need to justify a non-belief in God? Well, it does seem that this is being discussed on this thread, but no one is really making a good case that God is different from any other non-existing entity.
